What type of games you wish to play should guide your purchase. Graphically demanding games such as PUBG, GTA V, Battlefield 1 and The Witcher 3 require a high-end graphics card, a decent CPU and at least 8GB of ram.

What resolution you wish to run your games at should also be considered. The main determinant of resolution is your graphics card and some thought should go into picking the right one for your computer.

Gaming at 1080p typically only requires a GTX 1060 or RX 580. Gaming at 1440p requires a GTX 1070 or 1070 TI. 4K gaming generally requires a 1080 at the minimum but preferably a 1080 TI for better performance.

Deciding between a gaming desktop or a gaming laptop

A desktop will bring you better performance, less noise, cooler temperatures and will allow you to swap out parts if you wish to upgrade in the future.

Gaming desktops can sometimes be big and bulky. This means that space can sometimes be an issue. Gaming desktops can also be quite heavy meaning they aren’t nearly as portable as a gaming laptop.

A gaming laptop is a more affordable and portable option for casual gamers who may be moving around a lot.

Gaming laptops generally don’t have the same performance of a gaming desktop. Performance can still be good, but battery life tends to be a little short whilst gaming.
